Chapter 1: What humorous introduction sets the tone for the episode?
recording, recording, test, test, test
You're gonna smoke dope and have a good time. You're gonna smoke dope. Okay.
Well, I guess it's live from the sewer at midnight. Yeah, I'm Nick the Rat. Today we have a really, really good show for you today. We have tons of music by Purple Planet Music. I don't know who they are, but I think if I say their name, I could play their music. They're going to sue me. I don't have anything. I'm in the sewer, man. I guess you could come get me down here. We could have a party.
Partied up in the sewer.
Do you understand at all what I'm saying?
No, Dr. Phil, I do not. So this Zika virus thing, man, it's spreading. It's spreading all over, man. I'm reading that it could hit New York and D.C. by the summer. So if you want to go out and party... Party sooner than later because we're all going to be dead really soon. It's pretty horrible. Yeah, I have official news about it.
I'm going to play that news now so I don't have to really tell you it and somebody else could. And I'll throw some cool purple panic music over it so you don't get too scared. Let's see what happens.
The uncontained mosquito-borne virus spreading explosively through the Americas may reach parts of the United States this summer. The warning from some experts comes one day after the World Health Organization declared the Zika outbreak an international health emergency. Zika has been associated with severe birth defects in infants born to mothers infected with the virus during pregnancy.
The CDC has urged pregnant women or women thinking about getting pregnant to avoid traveling to 24 countries and territories with active transmission. Question is, can an outbreak be prevented here at home? For more, we cross live to Marina Portnaya in Miami, where at least two people tested positive for the Zika virus last month.

Chapter 2: How is the Zika virus impacting communities?
Does it sound like a logical thing to do?
Well, I always think you bring a lot of logic to the table, Lionel. I actually, though, when thinking about this story, it's almost like when you think of any case, it's harder for people getting out of jail to get jobs. It's harder for them to access things. But that doesn't actually stop the crime, like you said.
And so how could the NYPD actually tackle this problem of what they say is repeat offenders without denying anyone access to New York's transit system?
Well, because the theory is that in many, many crimes, it is often the case where a judge will say, you are not to have contact with this victim. Is that the truth or what? You are not to go to this place where you tend to commit these crimes. But in this particular case, the subway system, it's like the highway, the sidewalks, you know, the highways and byways, that's different from prohibiting.
Man, they should just ban repeat offenders from going outside. But then the Zekas won't get them. And all we'll have left are repeat offenders. We won't even have anybody except repeat offenders alive left on the planet. I think we should send them into traffic and let them go on the trains and all that other fun stuff.
Maybe if we let Bigfoot get on the trains, it'll cure our problems because nobody's going to fuck around if they see that big old hairy ape running around the fucking subway. I wouldn't do anything in front of Bigfoot. He's fucking, he's mean. I saw him once upstate. I got cut off from telling that story the other night. It's a really good story. I'll tell it one day.
There's still some legal issues behind it. Yeah, it's seriously rough out there. Let's just say Bigfoot wants his kids back.

Chapter 3: What official news is shared about the Zika outbreak?
But they weren't really his in the first place if I saw them and he's a mythical creature. So they're mine, Bigfoot. You can't take those kids back. But you can listen to more Purple Planet music.
Bigfoot has gone by many names and been the subject of many stories, but actually setting eyes on one has proved a little difficult. Not everyone's given up, though, and a team of specialists think they've zoned in on the creature's whereabouts in Russia, as Maria Tinochina reports from Siberia. Tiger thicket. Never has a human stepped foot here before. Has.
In the hunt for the evidence, every minor detail becomes important. Branches twisted like this are believed to be a key clue to the Yetta's existence.
You heard it here, folks. You heard it here first. Broken tree branches... is obviously approved for Bigfoot. So, suck on that one, Bill Nye the Science Guy. I bet you one day that guy, that Leonardo DiCaprio guy, he buys an island. And he's going to have Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye the Science Guy go there. And they're going to make this satellite dish and call down the aliens to come.
And they're going to have a big orgy. It's going to be like a Bunga Bunga party. Yeah. Bunga Bunga parties. They're good times. I went to one of those once. Uh... I don't think I ever left, though. I'm still probably at the Bunga Bunga party. Wow, these people are still crawling around the woods looking for Bigfoot because they found a fucking crack.
Yeah, let's go there. And sure enough, the clues emerge. There is what seems to be a toe and a heel, suggestive of a footprint. Certainly not a bear, the scientists agree, while remaining cautious of jumping to conclusions. This is a beautiful surface for tracking, and there's only that one indistinct, uncertain shape. Ah, right there. It's another right. Bigfoot playing hopscotch.
Sure would like to see a left foot. Bigfoot's only got one leg, man. I've seen it. At least I hope that was his leg. These are either the real thing or they're convenient props to make a very good story. And I wouldn't be quick to determine which of those two alternatives is the truth without further study. The study, that will take a while, could provide cast iron proof of the Yeti's existence.
But there are plenty here who won't be holding their breath.
I'm holding my breath. I'm going to hold out for you guys until you find this thing. Looks like they want to send... Some genetically modified mosquitoes to fight the Zika mosquitoes? I don't know if this sounds like a good idea. What if the genetically modified mosquitoes start breeding with the Zika ones, and then they have, like, modified Zika mosquitoes?

Chapter 4: What are the potential risks of Zika virus in the U.S.?
Possibly. No, I'm not dead. I just like dead air sometimes, especially when I'm traveling to other planets in my mind. It's fun. Sort of something like that. Probably more something like this over here. So, if you see Bill Gates running around at all, just push him down the stairs or something. We can't get rid of him. He's no good, man.
He's making all these fucking new mosquitoes try to come and kill us. Jerk.
What if the key to combating the Zika virus is more mosquitoes? But not just any mosquitoes, genetically modified mosquitoes. I know, when you think of GMOs, you probably think about giant strawberries, tomatoes, or apples. But some scientists are saying GMO mosquitoes could hold the cure. RT's Anya Parampil explains.
Brazil has announced its National Biosafety Committee has approved multiple releases of a genetically modified version of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Their goal is to stop the spread of Zika virus through using GMO mosquitoes, which carry a self-destructing mechanism, releasing them into the wild and allowing Taliban mosquitoes, man? Yo.
Proponents of the GMO insects say it is possible to target specific species with the die-offs and that their use is safer than traditional pesticides. However, others worry that in such an interconnected ecosystem, one small change, let alone a drastic reduction in the population of mosquitoes, could have unknown and unintended consequences. In Washington, Anya Parampil, RT.
This is Dabu7. Some very important information in regards to the Zika virus. I've spoke about this before, but what we've come across now shows that there may be something huge in the works, and we may have connected all the dots in this man-comfortable circle, and it's important people see this. Yep. I heard Texas and possibly New York and D.C. Oh, God. Uh-oh.
And shout-outs once again to everybody out there that's sending information because this is coming from multiple different avenues. But to give you a background on this, this comes from an experimental test here. The blood from a Reyes monkey, 1947. Now, this becomes...
Almost of the things of the movies where things could start to shift and change in With this and also the California flu that broke loose out of a US war lab in Ukraine reminiscent of outbreak but What I'm pointing at here is the fact that this was Being engineered this Zika virus is has seen an explosion in Brazil, especially within the past year.
So when going back, has there been any big changes within the past year? Well, there sure has. And I'll leave links to all this so you can tear it apart, but you're going to come to find out that a company... They're going to get you. And all the information's right here. You can look into the background.

Chapter 5: How do mosquitoes play a role in the spread of Zika?
I heard the third episode might be kind of funny, too. I'm still on season five. I just saw some kids getting sucked under the ground, into the dirt, because they were like emo or something, man. That was a weird episode. I wouldn't want to get sucked under the... I'd rather have a Zika virus than get pulled into the mud, personally. But... This Purple Planet stuff is all creepy.
It's not really wedding kind of music, unless you're into that, but
You're going to smoke dope and have a good time. Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, man. Ever see these tree people? Like the... It's like the people... I don't even want to think about it. It's kind of gross. They look like they're made of wood. They're very tree looking and all this. But apparently it's just like warts or some shit, man. How... How could they let it get to that point? It doesn't just happen overnight.
I can't imagine going to bed and waking up looking like one of these guys. But yeah, if I saw like a twig growing out of my arm, I'd go to the doctor even if I was like poor and homeless. You know, which I sort of am. I live in the sewer, but I still have electricity. Thank goodness for that. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come to you live.
and pre-recorded as well but right now 12 30 in some sewer brooklyn somewhere in there but yeah this guy in bangladesh he had removed five kgs that's like kilograms of branches from himself man from himself like yeah he's got like they look like pine cone hands I would not high-five this guy. Jeez. After he cuts it off, I wonder what his hands look like.
Like the worst Marvel superhero superpower ever.
Holy crap.
